Chapter 458
Mu Qingao couldn't persuade her, so he had to postpone his affairs in the afternoon and deal with complicated personnel arrangements with her.
"It's no wonder that the prince didn't careless about taking care of the family's affairs, and now it's a mess." Song Qingyun couldn't help but complain.
Mu Qingao had a stomach full of grievances, he said with a smile, "Madame has wronged me, there is no hostess at home, I sometimes take the soldiers out for a year and a half, and I am more than willing to do things at home!" ”
"That's right, but the prince, let's talk ugly ahead, I don't care what kind of person you used before, if you want me to manage, you have to follow my ideas, and it's not easy for anyone to intercede with you."
The new official took office three fires, she has just arrived with the title of princess, naturally she can't let others look down on her, otherwise the house is scattered, the servants are dumping each other, and the intrigue is not serious. In the future, sons and daughters will also be implicated when they grow up.
Mu Qingao is a wife and slave, and he will do what the lady says, and he thinks that Song Qingyun's arrangement is not wrong, both of them have business minds, and they still understand the truth of a radish and a pit.
In the afternoon, the servants who were not named soon gathered in the courtyard, the weather was sweltering, and Song Qingyun also wanted to make a quick decision and not waste each other's time.
As soon as a dozen people were checked, the two found a serious problem.
There are a total of four carriages in the house, and there are twelve coachmen alone, and these twelve people can work in three shifts and work in a row.
Mu Qingao frowned and glanced at the housekeeper who was constantly wiping his sweat.
Then went to the maids and ladies in the inner courtyard, Song Qingyun took a general look, there were almost forty people, but the owner of the inner house, just her and Sister Yin, this configuration is also considered a luxury level, right?
The people who really served by Song Qingyun's side were brought by her from home, and these forty or so were all original in the house.
Qingyun has always wondered, when she first appeared at the gate of the mansion that day, there were less than twenty people kneeling to greet her, and the remaining sixty or so, what did they do at that time?
The bloated staff in the inner house is even worse than that in the outer courtyard, but there are very few people who actually do the work.
The management of the entire garden is only done by Honglian alone.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it true that before the princess came, the flowers and grass in the yard never fell petals and lost leaves?"
The mother-in-law in charge of the flowers and trees in the courtyard was called out to reply, she glanced at Song Qingyun who was seated, and said lightly, "It was someone who cleaned it, but after the princess came, Mother Guo specially assigned Honglian to do it, and everyone thought that she offended the princess and was punished, so the old slave took the person away and went elsewhere." ”
"Heh, you're going to figure out my mind and do it for me thoroughly!"
Look at it, not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates. She hadn't been here for a few days, but she had a bad reputation in the house, and she asked Guo's mother to arrange for Honglian to stay away from the outer courtyard and away from Sister Yin'er, where did these people see that they were punishing Honglian?
The matter of the three of them becoming tigers is not sensational, and she can make up things by herself if she doesn't have them, and she also knows for the first time that the servants in the courtyard of the deep mansion like to figure out the thoughts of the master's family.
This housekeeper was a little stingy, and she didn't think much of Qingyun's ridicule, which angered her all of a sudden.
"Gu Ahua doesn't have to manage the flowers and plants in the courtyard from tomorrow, what to do is waiting for Guo's mother's arrangement."
Gu Ahua suddenly raised her eyebrows and glared at Song Qingyun angrily.
"Lord Wang, the old slave's family is kind to the prince, and now the princess has just come to cut us people, what did the old slave do wrong to be driven out of the palace?"
Hehe, what a big breath, is she accusing Lord Jing?
Song Qingyun's heart sank, after all, she was a bride, and she didn't know much about the people and things in the house, and there must be a reason why Gu Ahua despised herself.
"Gu Ah Hua?"
Gu Pozi rolled her eyes arrogantly, and ignored Song Qingyun at all, but blessed Mu Qingao.
"Lord, you are the prince of Shu, you have been away from Shu for more than a year, and you are all small people who have worked hard to take care of the entire palace for you."
Mu Qingao sneered, "Gu Ahua, tell me, how are you taking care of it?" ”
Gu Pozi opened her mouth, and suddenly said, "The prince came to Shu ten years ago, and it was the old man of my family who saved the prince's life, haven't you forgotten?" You once said that let us live in the house all the time, and you are treacherous to let the princess drive me away now. ”
"Well said, if you don't remind me, I'm forgetting you and your man."
Mu Qingao turned his head sideways and said to the housekeeper, "Where is Gu Ahua's man?" Tell him to come too. ”
Gu Ahua's man Luo Da is the second-class steward in the house, who is responsible for the reception of visitors and errands in the house, and when he heard that the prince called him, he ran over in a hurry, and found that his woman was raising her chin proudly, and he suddenly felt bad.
"Wang ...... Rajah? Luo Da knelt on the ground with weak legs and secretly glanced at Song Qingyun beside him.
"Gu Ahua, tell Luo Da what you just said again." King Jing said with a gloomy face.
Gu Ahua received her man's warning look, but what she said was equivalent to spilling water, and she didn't say that everyone heard it.
"Gu Ahua, why don't you say it?"
"Lord Wang, the old slave doesn't dare to say it, it's a capital crime to say it."
"Hehe, you're threatening me?"
"Prince, prince, please spare your life, my mother-in-law has no brains, she speaks without hindrance, please spare her life!"
Luo Da understands what kind of character his mother-in-law is, and now it seems that she has offended the prince and the princess, this damn woman, she doesn't want to live, and she doesn't want to put the lives of the whole family into it!
If Mu Qingao spared Gu Ahua, he would directly slap Song Qingyun in the face, he had promised never to interfere in her arrangement.
But if you don't agree to Luo Da to spare his mother-in-law, there will definitely be rumors outside that King Jing will take revenge, Song Qingyun frowned, sighed and secretly pulled the sleeve of Lamu Qingao.
She can endure any grievances, but she can't let his reputation be ruined.
Mu Qingao gave her a comforting look, "Qingyun, there is still something here, you can make a decision after listening." ”
"Luo Da, Gu Ahua speculated about the master's mind without authorization, and did not consider the reputation of the master, the princess made the decision to drive her out of the palace, and then she shouted that the king was ungrateful and connived at the princess, you say ......"
"Ah, the prince spares his life!"
Luo Da didn't wait for King Jing to finish speaking, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and soon the blood stained his forehead, and King Jing looked at it coldly, unmoved.
Seeing this, Gu Ahua on the side also kowtowed and begged for mercy, the couple was very reluctant to work hard at this time, and if it continued like this, Song Qingyun was worried about his life.
"Jiang Jue, then they pull away."
Soon, someone grabbed Luo Da and the two of them, and Mu Qingao stood up, his eyes swept over everyone gloomily.
"There are many of you, and this king has said the same thing to you, saying that you can do things in the palace until you can no longer do it, and this king will provide for you."
Song Qingyun looked at Mu Qingao in astonishment.
"However, today this king wants to get to know you again, since Gu Ahua mentioned the incident ten years ago, then there is no need for this king to cover it up for you, make things clear, and if there is anyone in the province who does not obey the princess's orders in the future, and then turn this matter out and disobey the princess."
